Complaint that broadcaster failed to present opposing view point in programme, the reason being that broadcaster intended to slant the broadcast to achieve a particular focus, this being to denigrate and vilify the Jewish people as oppressors and colonisers of the state of Palestine. Held, that the broadcaster cannot be held responsible for the failure of invited affected persons with an interest in the programme declining to participate in such programme. Held, that within context the broadcast was fair and balanced. Complaint dismissed.
